Version: (using KDE 4.1.0) Installed from: Gentoo Packages There is no support for dragging files to the target of .desktop links (i.e. a .desktop file with "Type=Link URL[$e]=..."). This feature was in kde3 and was invaluable. Steps: 1. Right click, choose Create New-->Link to Location (URL), enter a folder's url or even an ftp server (kioslave should take care of it). 2. Drag a file to the newly created link. Result: The link is not seen as a drop target.
we use libkonq for this functionality.
This should be reassigned to the libkonq team.
libkonq team == David Faure :-) @David: please let me know if I can help or should take over this task
Implemented in KonqOperations, this might fix the bug for the folderview case. But in "konqueror desktop:/" (where I tried to test it), DolphinView::dropUrls doesn't let us drop a file onto a file, it always drops onto the current directory. Fixed. Ah but then it doesn't call KonqOperations::doDrop but does its own thing. That's a TODO in the dolphin code.
Created attachment 27368 [details] dolphinview patch For Dolphin I have the following patch, but it's not enough (and the if below needs to be adjusted...)
It works for me in Dolphin 2.2.
This seems to work nowadays (and Dolphin switched to KIO::DropJob anyway)
